Video: The Shins - "It's Only Life"

Everyone should be using whatever process The Shins go through to execute their music videos. The second clip off Port of Morrow, directed by Hiro Murai, comes off as a wonderful riff on Where The Wild Things Are, as our young protagonist and his dog revel in the child-like wonders of their imagination while creepy, antlered monsters drag the entire town, as well as James Mercer, away into the wilderness. This is one of those videos I'd love to see somehow adapted into a movie/short film. Check it out below.
